Extending React Native To The Next Platform

on YouTube ↗24m

" summary

Claims a working proof of concept that ports React Native to a Skia-based, Flutter-like layer using Skia rendering and React Native’s new architecture pieces. It uses JSI with the system JSC engine, Fabric scheduler, component registry and a mounting manager, built on macOS with gn/ninja and folly eventbase. It renders simple views, images and text (React logo + string) but omits input, animation and many TurboModules like networking, so it runs visuals but lacks full interactivity and production features.
